Melody's 11 in 2011 List

Guess I need to post my list on this blog even though I already published my list on my Wooley Thoughts blog.

I am already lamenting over not adding more projects to my list - that is what reading everyones list will do for you.  My list is already obselete and it is only the 5th day of January - AHHHH - such is life regarding my needlework journey.  Dealing with the OOOOOOO shiny syndrome is tough !

Here is my list :
